Microsoft recently hiked the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate up to $29.99 / £22.99 an eye-watering month, but it seems like Amazon hasn't got the memo as it's offering one month for just $18.99 in the US or only £12.99 in the UK this Cyber Monday.

This isn't technically a deal in the usual sense, as Amazon is only showing this is as a $1 discount in the US - but it's actually $11 compared to the new asking price on other platforms. In the UK, you're saving £10.

So what is an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership at the end of the day?

It's a subscription offered by Microsoft designed to give you the ultimate gaming experience for a monthly fee.

The biggest reason to subscribe is access to a huge library of games across both Xbox consoles and PC. This includes recent hits like The Outer Worlds 2 and Gears of War Reloaded, plus expensive releases like Call of Duty: Black Ops 7.

With more than 400 titles to choose from, the subscription a dream for people that love to window shop and dive into lots of different games on digital stores.

Fortnite Crew, EA Play, and Ubisoft+ Classics subscriptions are also bundled in, all with their own unique benefits.

On Xbox consoles you also get access to online multiplayer and, on top of all of this, the ability to play select games anywhere via Xbox Cloud Gaming. Oh, and there are exclusive discounts and in-game items to claim too!
